Pentagon struggling to trace American weaponry in Ukraine.

February 28, 2023



(RT) βΈ» The Pentagon's inspector general has admitted that the US can't follow its own arms control laws, as a classified report last year found that the Pentagon was unable to keep tabs on tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons sent to Ukraine. Robert Storch noted that the US has allocated $113 billion in aid to Ukraine since the conflict began last February, around 60% of which went to the country's military. However, Republican Rep. Mike Johnson revealed that a report from Storch's office last October found that the US was unable to carry out monitoring of weapons deliveries to Ukraine in line with its own policies. Storch responded that the report in question was supposed to remain classified, but admitted that it was "accurate" in acknowledging "challenges" faced by the US in Ukraine. The report appears to back up a slew of reports suggesting that weapons often disappear once delivered, with one US intelligence source telling CNN that they vanish "into a big black hole" once they enter Ukraine. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby claimed that the Biden administration has "not seen any signs" that military or economic aid "has fallen prey to any kind of corruption in Ukraine."
